A year to remember (for the right reasons)

Share

Yes, 2016 was a tough year for the ideals of equality, diversity and inclusion. It’s been the year of Brexit and Trump, of populist promises to ‘take back control’ and make countries ‘great again’. Both victories were born out of division, not inclusion, and the troublesome narratives roll on.

Building inclusive cultures at work

Our latest demo, at our Festive Party last week, featured an acted scenario based around two teams coming together following a company merger. Cue culture clash, questionable Christmas jumpers, and subtle disadvantage at work.

This time we added creative use of audio to give the audience a moment of insight into the inner monologues of each team member. We used this to highlight how their own unconscious biases came into play in relation to one another and to the group. We also took the time to keep the script full of humour and vibrancy, while still carrying a powerful, memorable message about inclusive behaviours.
